The notion that the movement consists only of the Foundation and its chapters is a bit thin. There are many other organisations and people that I would consider part of this movement.. Wikieducator for instance is a great example of this, they have a bigger potential to do good for the less and least resourced languages then any of the WMF chapters.
So my question is, is this intended to be about WMF and its chapters or can this be larger then that ?
Good point. I think that Wikimedia is the central part of a larger, free knowledge movement. And that Wikimedia (WMF and the community) should act in such way.
However, I think that the first step is to organize Wikimedia movement with open doors for others. So, some site which would organize Wikimedians already organized at different paradigms would be a good idea. And this means not only WMF and the chapters.
